Carb Conversion?
My Bike is an 01 Road Glide. It has the MM EFI and I am think of converting to carb.
Question I have is what Carb to get, SE 44mmcv, A rivera, S&S or what ever the Stock Carb that came on Carb models of that year? I bought the bike used and am pretty sure it just plain old stock. It has a true Dual exhaust ste up. I would like to maybe put in cams and a 2 into 1 exhaust. What say you whats my best option? |
cv 40 is the stock carb easy to find

Lots of folk go on about the MMI system, however I suspect most bikes with it are running just fine. Changing to a carb means a lot more than it seems along with extra cost. An alternative is to use a later tunable replacement for the original MMI, from the MoCo or S&S. Andrews has suitable cams and Supertrapp makes a great 2-into-1, as you can see below!

I went with a CV40 when converting from an M&M on my 2001 FLHRCI. I chose the CV carburetor because I was able to find one with the linkage required to easily connect my cruise control.
|
Zippers also makes a bolt on MM upgrade kit with new TB, computer and o2 sensors. Not the cheapest thing around (about 2 grand) but if you want it done "right" so to speak that may be a good way to go.

I looked intio that option the only problem is that they wont sell it to me because I live in the Peopls republik of Commiefornia....But I am not far from reno and I have some buddies there so I could have them order it for me. Which I may do!

I'm converting my 99 RoadGlide in the next week or so.
I'm going with the CV40, as I want my cruise control. I like CV's and even the little 40, properly jetted, will feed my 97". If I didn't find a package locally with tank, harness, intake, carb and Ness filter backplate I would have gone S&S as there are brackets for cruise control for them. I prefer the CV, when I had a Super E on my 107" Evo softail I had to rejet on my annual ride from AZ through Telluride. I'm gonna toss in a little hijack here-what are people that have completed the conversion using to plug the hole in the back of the front head when the temp sensor is removed? |
